• Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line• ANSI T1.413-1998• G.992.1 = G.dmt = 8.1/0.8 Mbps (down/up) using 256 bins• G.992.2 = G.lite = 1.5/0.5 Mbps using 128 bins• G.992.1 with S=1/2 line coding yielding 12 Mbps • G.992.3 = G.dmt.bis (July2002) aka ADSL2• G.992.3 Annex L = Reach Extended RE-ADSL2 (Oct2003)• G.992.4 = G.lite.bis (May2002)• G.992.5 = ADSL2plus = 24 Mbps at 5,000 feet (Jan2003)• ADSL4 = 52 Mbps proposed quad spectrum (ADSL2++)

Three Down Stream (DS) Speeds
1. Theory– Possible 256 bins, 12 Mbps max
2. Actual– Actual for the copper local access loop – Perhaps 188 bins, 9.6 Mbps max– Some bins disabled by the copper loop– Will depend upon “bits per bin” loading
3. Tariff– The service you requested, purchased– Perhaps 140 bins, 1.5 Mbps max– Some bins disabled by the service provider

ANSI and ITU (G.dmt)• ANSI T1.413 - 1998• ITU-T G.992.1-1999 = ADSL (ADSL1)• ITU-T G.992.3-2002 = ADSL2 (July 2002)• ITU-T ADSL includes localization for different countries;
– Annex A with POTS– Annex B with ISDN– Annex C with TCM-ISDN for Japan– Annex H for Japan
• G.992.1 has an enhanced activation compared to ANSI called G.994.1 (G.hs – handshake). Instead of a single tone being used to indicate optional features supported by a DSL modem, several tones digitally transmit the same information for a more robust startup.
• G.997.1 (G.ploam) -- management
COPPER-12
G.992.3 (G.dmt.bis) = ADSL2
• ITU-T Study Group 15, Question 4 (SG15-Q4)• May 2002 consent, July 2002 approved• Technical freeze on ADSL• “.bis” means “other” or second version• Major changes in ADSL2 …
– Improved bit rate in the downstream– Mandatory Trellis Code– Line Diagnostics– Reduced Power– All Digital Mode
COPPER-13
G.992.3 (ADSL2) - Bonding• ADSL2 provides support for inverse multiplexing• Bonding of multiple copper pairs for transport of a• Single ATM stream (ATM Forum Standard af.phy-
0086.001 Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA), Version 1.1)

COPPER-15
G.992.3 (ADSL2) – Speed Change• Improved bit rate
– Was 2-15 bits, now also 1-bit signal constellations– four-dimensional, 16-state trellis-coded and 1-bit
quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations – Results in a 96-192 kbps greater downstream
• Reduced framing overhead for faster transfers• Adaptable pilot tone location (carrier #64 = 276kHz)
– Will result in better clocking• Mandatory Trellis coding and Reed Solomon RS=15• Explicit rate negotiation
– Will be good for multi-vendor configurations– Better tone reordering for RFI robustness

G.992.3 (ADSL2) – Rate & Reach
Diagram source:www.aware.com
21.5 kft =6.5 km
COPPER-17
G.992.3 (ADSL2) – SRA• ADSL2 can dynamically adapt to changes in line
conditions:– Crosstalk from other DSL in the same cable– Narrow band AM (radio) disturbers– Temperature changes– Water in the cable bundle
• Uses online reconfiguration (OLR) when SNR changes• SRA is important for video to avoid tiling (pixelization)• Seamless rate adaptation (SRA) enables the transceiver
to monitor line conditions and dynamically adapt the data rate “seamlessly”, i.e. without bit errors or requiring a service interruption for retraining
COPPER-18
G.992.3 (ADSL2) - Digital Mode• All digital mode (no POTS, could have derived voice)• About 256 kbps additional up stream data rate• 0-26 kHz used for digital transmission not voice• This option is not suitable for line sharing
COPPER-19
ADSL2 DELT• DELT (Dual-Ended Line Test)• Defined by the ADSL2 (G.992.3) • Enables the measurement of line conditions at both
ends without dispatching maintenance technicians to attach test equipment to the end of the line.
• The information helps to isolate the location and the sources of impairments caused by crosstalk, radio-frequency interference and bridge taps.
• Data Collection is "DELT physical-layer technology”• Data Processing is "Loop Identification”• SELT (Single-Ended Line Test) future option
COPPER-20
SELT/DELT Comparison
COPPER-21
G.992.3 (ADSL2) – Low Power
• L0 is ADSL2 full power mode• L2 is low power mode at the ATU-C (DSLAM) while
idle will result in better power especially for remote DLC (Digital Loop Carrier) configurations
• L3 is low power mode at the ATU-R (user) and ATU-C enables the modem to sleep when information is not being transmitted (e.g. overnight) – it takes 3 seconds to come out of L3 (sleep mode)
• Ability to disable tones to aid spectral compatibility• Extended training intervals• Power back off during startup
COPPER-22
G.992.3 (ADSL2) – Ethernet• ADSL2 includes a packet mode transmission
convergence layer (PTM-TC) that enables connection of ADSL2 modems to packet services (Ethernet)
• Extensive configuration capability for PTM-TC with configuration of …– latency– bit error rate– minimum/maximum data rate to meet packet
protocol requirements
COPPER-23
Reach-Extended ADSL
• G.992.3 Annex L• Approved November 2003
• RE-ADSL2 performance improvements result from new power spectral density (PSD) masks designed to improve data rates on extra-long phone lines
• For downstream data rate of 384 kbps, results in 20%• RE-ADSL2 is expected to operate as an alternative
mode of an ADSL2 or ADSL2+ chipset that a carrier can choose to activate for particular customers
COPPER-24
RE-ADSL2 (Down Stream Rate)
• 500 kbps at 18,500’• 18,500’ = 5.6 km• 384 kbps at 28,000’• 28,000’ = 8.5 km
• RE is adding ½ km• 1,500’ = 0.460 km• 26 AWG• 12 other ADSL
COPPER-25
G.992.5 (ADSL2+)• 24 Mbps possible with 512 bins up to 2.2 MHz
COPPER-26
G.992.5 (ADSL2+)• Possible to reduce cross talk by using different bins for
